Someone should alert Politifact and its users in the press corps.</p>
<p> “I got outspent when I ran [the] first time for Senate,” the president claimed in his campaign speech Thursday in Maumee, Ohio. Munro found "Obama was misleading." Yeah, that's one word you could use.</p>

Any old liberal journalist can charge Daily Caller reporter Neil Munro for being a racist for rudely interrupting President Obama during a press conference. It takes a hard-core lefty to delve deeper to diagnose the Irish-born journalist as a bigot for, well, questioning Obama&#39;s policy vis-a-vis how it harms the job prospects of American citizens.</p>
<p>
During a segment on the June 19 edition of his eponymous program, Bashir assented to the spurious charge by <a href="http://www.theroot.com/users/edwardwilliams">The Root contributor Edward Wyckoff Williams</a> that Munro &ndash; an Irish-born naturalized American citizen -- was motivated by a &quot;white supremist [sic] ideology&quot; as evidenced by his belief that President Obama&rsquo;s quasi-amnesty policy helps illegal immigrants at the cost of job opportunity to American citizens:</p>

Move over, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn5nEV8q-4U">Obama Boy</a> -- you&#39;ve got serious competition from Geraldo Rivera.<br />
<br />
Talking with GOP Rep. Allen West on his WABC radio show yesterday, Rivera made a fawningly inane analogy to describe Daily Caller reporter Neil Munro&#39;s unmitigated gall in attempting to ask questions at a presidential news conference <a href="/sites/default/files/Geraldo%20on%20Daily%20Caller%20reporter%20june%2018%2012_0.mp3">(audio)</a> --</p>

<em>New York Times</em> media reporter Brian Stelter got huffy in a <a href="http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/15/reporter-interrupts-obama-during-statement-on-immigration/">Friday&nbsp;</a> blog post on behalf of his fellow liberal journalists, who took to Twitter <em>en masse</em>, aghast at the audacity of a reporter from a conservative news site interrupting President Obama&#39;s Rose Garden speech outlining his controversial new immigration policy (a version of Stelter&#39;s story also made it into print on Saturday).</p>
<p>
The <em>Times</em> <a href="http://www.mrc.org/articles/putting-boot-iraq-attack-kicks-front-page-mockery-bush">was kinder </a>to an Iraqi journalist who hurled a shoe at President Bush during a December 2008 press conference in Baghdad, emphasizing his &quot;defiant act&quot; and &quot;hero status&quot; in Iraq.</p>

The mainstream media&#39;s response to Barack Obama being interrupted by a Daily Caller reporter during a Rose Garden press conference Friday is getting more preposterous with each passing second.</p>
<p>
ABC&#39;s former White House correspondent Sam Donaldson told the Huffington Post Saturday, &quot;Many on the political right believe this president ought not to be there &ndash; they oppose him not for his polices [sic] and political view but for who he is, an African American!&quot; &nbsp;</p>

You&#39;d think from the reaction to Daily Caller White House Correspondent Neal Munro&#39;s <a href="http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/national_world&amp;id=8702920">shouted question</a> during President Obama&#39;s announcement of de facto amnesty for 30-and-under illegal aliens at the Rose Garden yesterday that it&#39;s the first time any reporter has ever shouted a question at a U.S. president out of turn. Friday afternoon, the Daily Caller, Munro&#39;s employer, <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2012/06/15/statements-from-the-daily-caller-regarding-exchange-in-white-house-rose-garden/">carried his explanation</a> of the incident, as well as sturdy defenses from Editor-in-Chief Tucker Carlson and Publisher Neil Patel.</p>

What follows is some historical perspective (&quot;Why Do Grown Men And Women Shout At President Reagan?&quot;) coming from (yes, really) Associated Press writer Christopher Connell <a href="http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1982&amp;dat=19871014&amp;id=FD5HAAAAIBAJ&amp;sjid=XzMNAAAAIBAJ&amp;pg=1240,1492617">in October 1987</a>&nbsp;which&nbsp;is more than necessary in the circumstances (save <a href="http://www.bizzyblog.com/wp-images/FullItemOnPressShoutsAtReaganAP1087.png">here</a> in full for fair use and discussion purposes; key items underlined by me).</div></div></div>Sat, 16 Jun 2012 19:03:49 +0000Tom Blumer52722 at http://newsbusters.orgPolitico Reporter Suggests Racism Explains Munro's Questioning Of Obamahttp://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2012/06/16/politico-reporter-munro-yup-race-involved

A <em>Politico </em>reporter has suggested that racism was behind <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2012/06/15/video-neil-munro-explains-his-exchange-with-president-obama-in-rose-garden/">Neil Munro&#39;s questioning of President Obama </a>at the White House yesterday.&nbsp; Saying <strong>&quot;it&#39;s very, very difficult to place race outside of this context,&quot;</strong> the Politico&#39;s <a href="http://www.politico.com/staffmembers/JosephWilliams.html">Joe Williams</a> claimed racially-motivated direspect of PBO is part of a pattern among conservatives, citing Rep. Joe Wilson, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, and the Tea Party.<br />

Williams made his remarks in the course of responding to a question from Michael Eric Dyson, subbing for Ed Schultz on MSNBC last night.&nbsp; View the video after the jump.</p>

Barack Obama on Friday, while giving a speech in the White House Rose Garden about his new illegal immigration edict, was <a href="http://www.wral.com/news/national_world/national/story/11213346/">interrupted</a> with a question from the Daily Caller&#39;s Neil Munro.</p>
<p>
Not surprisingly, it didn&#39;t take long for someone on MSNBC to suggest it was because the president is black (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):</p>
